Download

Packages are available for download from GitHub Releases.

Versions prior to 0.2.0 were provided as RPM packages. From 0.2.0 onwards Arista's SWIX packaging format is used.

Ensure that you change the below URLs and file names accordingly.

The installation procedure is the same in either case.

Extension installation

  1. Copy the SWIX package onto the device.

    arista-cli# copy https://github.com/wolcomm/eos-prefix-list-agent/releases/download/0.2.0/eos-prefix-list-agent-0.2.0.swix extensions:

  2. Install the package.

    Note that the EOS ConfigAgent will restart, terminating any existing CLI sessions. You will have to reconnect to the device after this step.

    arista-cli# extension eos-prefix-list-agent-0.2.0.swix

  3. (Optional) Persist installation across reloads.

    If you skip this step, the agent will not be installed after a device reload.
